Pyuthan Project: Initial Flights

logo

Overview

This document contains recommendations for initial test flights, as well as some associated details

The rationale for the recommendation is as follows:

The “base” site should bee one of either Bijubar (the district hospital) or Swargadwarikhal. This is because this is where the GeneXpert machines will be located.
The coordinates of these sites are below:

Type	Name	Longitude	Latitude
Hospital	Bijubar	82.85573	28.11916
Health Post	Swargadwarikhal	82.63535	28.16659

Using one or both of these sites as the “base”, we recommend making the flight to a “Sub health post” (of which there are 35 in the district). The below chart shows the distances to each health sub health post from the above base sites.

Type	Name	Longitude	Latitude
Hospital	Bijubar	82.85573	28.11916
Sub Health Post	Dakhanwadi	82.79839	28.11987

Type	Name	Longitude	Latitude
Sub Health Post	Kochiwang	82.62865	28.11127
Health Post	Swargadwarikhal	82.63535	28.16659

The below map shows other health facilities to/from which we can fly.
